Deadpool & Wolverine: Kevin Feige Explains How Sequel Keeps Love at Its Core

As a huge Marvel fan and someone who has been following Deadpool’s journey since his debut in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, I can’t help but be excited for the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine film. The prospect of seeing two iconic characters teaming up on the big screen is a dream come true.


The upcoming film featuring Deadpool and Wolverine from Marvel Studios is generating significant buzz. This is not only because it’s the next movie set to release but also due to it being Marvel’s first R-rated production. Contrary to popular belief, promoted as a rollicking journey through the Marvel multiverse, Kevin Feige, head of Marvel Studios, asserts that the film carries deeper meaning than many acknowledge for Deadpool.

Feige shared with ComicBook that Deadpool’s essence, which has always been at the heart of the character and Ryan Reynolds’ vision for it, is encapsulated in his line “I just want to matter.” This statement kicks off his journey in this film. With the potential for a third Deadpool movie within the MCU, we need to find a way to do justice to this core concept.

In a different conversation, director Shawn Levy of “Deadpool” and “Wolverine” revealed that the plot idea came to life due to Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman’s commitment to star in the film.

“Ryan and Hugh have unique qualities that make them stand out. Ryan’s quick wit and fast-paced thinking are unmatched, like a high-revving engine in Ryan Reynolds’ brain. It’s an impressive trait and perfectly suits his ‘Merc with a Mouth’ persona. On the other hand, Hugh is known for his kindness and sweetness, but he also holds a hidden depth of darkness within him.”

In the Marvel Studios production titled “Deadpool & Wolverine,” Deadpool, portrayed by Ryan Reynolds, and Wolverine, played by Hugh Jackman, will alter the course of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s history together. This film boasts an impressive cast including Matthew Macfadyen as Paradox and Emma Corrin as Cassandra Nova. Notable returning actors are Morena Baccarin as Vanessa Carlyle, Leslie Uggams as Blind Al, Karan Soni as Dopinder, Stefan Kapi?i? as Piotr Rasputin/Colossus, Brianna Hildebrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Rob Delaney as Peter, and Lewis Tan as Shatterstar. Additionally, Aaron Stanford reprises his role as Pyro from the X-Men series, and there are rumors of Jennifer Garner’s return as Elektra Natchios.

Kevin Feige, Ryan Reynolds, Shawn Levy, and Lauren Shuler Donner are the main producers for “Deadpool & Wolverine.” Lou D’Esposito, Wendy Jacobson, Mary McLaglen, Josh McLaglen, George Dewey, Simon Kinberg, Rhett Reese, and Paul Wernick serve as executive producers. The screenplay is written by Ryan Reynolds, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, Zeb Wells, and Shawn Levy. “Deadpool & Wolverine” will premier exclusively in theaters on July 26th.
